19 Healthy Snacks You Can Order Online

If there's one thing I've learned as a food editor, it's that people are constantly on the lookout for healthy packaged snack options, and I totally understand. Even as a healthy recipe developer who cooks most meals from scratch, I appreciate the convenience of store-bought snacks—because let's be real, trying to DIY an afternoon pick-me-up at the office usually feels like overkill. Heck, most of the time it isn't even possible, given the constraints of a minimally equipped office kitchen and a tiny communal refrigerator. Packaged snacks are where it's at.

You know what else is super convenient? Ordering snacks online, in bulk. At SELF, we spend a ton of time interviewing registered dietitians about healthy eating, which means that over the years we've amassed dozens—nay, hundreds—of healthy packaged snack recommendations. So, we sifted through all of these recommendations and figured out which ones are available online. All of our picks are shelf-stable, which means you can order them in large quantities, have them shipped straight to your door, and not have to worry about replenishing your snack stash for months.

The 19 healthy snacks below are all sold in single-serving packages, or in resealable bags small enough to stash in your purse or your gym bag. Some are recommendations from R.D.s, while others are SELF Healthy Food Award winners, meaning they meet strict nutrition criteria and have been vetted by dozens of taste testers. Whether your snack preference is sweet or savory, there's bound to be something here that'll you'll want to add to your cart.

A winner of our 2017 Healthy Food Awards, these crunchy chickpeas satisfy a salty snack craving but also meet our strict nutritional criteria set by Stephanie Clarke, R.D. and Willow Jarosh, R.D., of C&J Nutrition. A single serving packs an impressive 6 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. Our favorite flavor is barbecue, which is slightly sweet but only has 1 gram of added sugar per serving. Each of these bags contains two servings, so you can order once and snack for months (or maybe weeks, if you really end up loving them!).

Brigitte Zeitlin, R.D., M.P.H., C.D.N., founder of New York–based BZ Nutrition, loves these for when you're hungry but don't want a whole granola bar. "With 5 grams of protein, 100 calories, and only 5 grams of sugar, they make for a great postworkout snack,” she tells SELF.

Another Healthy Food Awards winner, this bar legitimately tastes like the kind of rich, chocolaty peanut butter dessert that dreams are made of. The catch? It's made with minimally processed ingredients, and each one has 12 grams of protein and no added sugar (the sweetness comes from dates).

These sweet, simple bars are chewy but dense and have a subtle almond flavor. They were the best granola bar we tried for our Healthy Food Awards this year, which means they're definitely worth adding to your snack stash.

One thing we noticed when judging the Healthy Food Awards is that it was hard to find jerky that met our nutritional criteria. This simple jerky fit the bill, with under 3 grams of sugar and 300 milligrams of sodium per ounce. Plus, it tasted delicious. It's also made with grass-fed beef and has no added hormones or antibiotics (more about that here).

This nut butter has a Nutella-esque flavor profile, but it has less added sugar and is made primarily from ground hazelnuts and almonds. Plus, the single-serving packs make it impossible to go overboard. Cara Harbstreet, M.S., R.D., L.D., of Street Smart Nutrition, likes to pair this nut butter with apple or banana slices.

These chips have less fat and sodium than regular potato chips, but they're just as satisfying—in fact, the thick cut and deep purple color might make them even more satisfying than your standard chips. “The single-serving bags also make it easy to enjoy a moderate portion,” Harbstreet tell SELF. “I’ll toss a bag into my lunchbox or enjoy one while road tripping."

Luna Bars have been around for a while, but they still make for an excellent grab-and-go snack that's a little sweet but not a total sugar bomb. Sarah-Jane Bedwell, R.D., L.D.N., R.D., media personality, and host of Cooking with Sarah-Jane says they're a good source of protein, with 8 grams per bar—perfect before or after a workout.

Amy Gorin, M.S., R.D.N., owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in Jersey City, New Jersey, loves these bars, especially the Mango Apple Chia and Cherry Apple Chia flavors. “Both of these bars are great for stashing in your purse for midday fuel, and each bar delivers two servings of fruit and a good supply of fiber,” she tells SELF.

If you think these sound a little weird, you’re not alone. Before we tested these for the Healthy Food Awards, we were skeptical of something that combined meat and veggies in a shelf-stable package. But these lamb bars came out on top. The bars are a little bit sweet thanks to apricots and dates, and the flavors of lamb, turmeric, and rosemary really come through.

“I love snacking on in-shell pistachios because shelling the nuts slows me down, and these nuts have the perfect amount of added flavor," Gorin says. These single-serving packs are super convenient, but you could also buy a big bag and portion the nuts out yourself.

Before there were RXBARs, there were Larabars. The original fruit-and-nut bar is still as delicious and convenient as ever, and the chocolate chip brownie is great for satisfying an afternoon chocolate craving. "“Larabars are a great packaged bar option when you’re craving something sweet yet want simple, real ingredients,” says Pine. “Their bars are gluten-free, vegan, and made with a small number of ingredients."

Bedwell recommends this popcorn because it uses very few ingredients (just popcorn, sunflower oil, and sea salt in the sea salt flavor), and she says it’s a great high-fiber snack. At just 80 calories per bag, one of these in the late afternoon won't spoil your appetite for dinner.

“Sometimes you just need some jerky,” Zeitlin tells SELF. When that meaty feeling strikes, she turns to these bites. She specifically loves this brand because of their emphasis on using whole, real ingredients. Each bag is resealable and contains a little over two servings.

Kind bars are always a delicious idea. Gorin especially likes this one because it’s filled with a bunch of different whole grains—oats, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa. She likes to pair a single bar with a cup of berries for a well-rounded afternoon snack.

If you're wary of chips made out of beans, these will put your fears to rest. They're crispy and satisfying, and the lime flavor goes a long way. “Most chips are low in protein and fiber, but these have 5 grams of plant-based protein per serving,” Alissa Rumsey, M.S., R.D., C.S.C.S, tells SELF. Pair them with a protein-packed dip like hummus for something really nourishing.

"Enlightened Roasted Broad Beans a great balance of plant-based protein, complex carbs, and fiber in one package," Lauren Harris-Pincus, M.S., R.D.N., owner of Nutrition Starring You tell SELF. She also point out that they're great post-workout. Each bag contains three 100-calorie servings.

This energy bar is literally stuffed with peanut butter. The 230-calorie CLIF was our favorite energy bar of 2016, which means it met the strict nutrition criteria for our Healthy Food Awards. It's a great snack to eat after a long workout, because it's got healthy carbs and protein.
